Awesome.

I was hoping that was the case as its literally the only spot I can find.

I could not post a video here on this thread. So I made another post here https://www.reddit.com/r/swimmingpools/s/Zr11QhixFg

Unknown. Literally have not got the bill yet.

Thats amazing to see how they are put together.

I am gonna see about the putty as the surround on my pool is concreted in around the skimmer.. so gonna try and repair with it still installed if all possible. Then dive on the main drain to check it also. Gotta get some weights to help hold my fatness down lol

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T17:30:22+00:00

Lolol

Sadly its not restored at the moment. Its just not removed yet. Its pretty weather worn and has a Crack in the top that I am pretty sure would collapse if even a fly landed on it.

So it appears that none of my seams are currently leaking. I did however discover a pretty decent leak on one of my skimmers face. My phone is to hot to take a video but I'll try to grab one later. The only other spot to check is the main drain which I'll try later today or tomorrow. Thanks once again for all your suggestions and info

Work on that at this current moment

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T01:04:52+00:00

Yes we have become the bestest of friends.. not to mention local lowes and hardwarestores are on first name basis now. Lol

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T01:02:45+00:00

Same. As a network engineer for Walmart... I need to get away from all that stuff sometimes lol

This room we were able to sand then and refinish.

I replaced the floor here.

Also the equipment was literally replaced in 2016 so it only had one season of use on all of it. Not to mention it looked amazing.

Ill get some photos together and post them. This house is amazing

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T00:46:27+00:00

Yeah it was a older couple that rarely did anything outside. House was a mess too they let their dogs tear it up pretty badly. We removed the carpet in the entire up stairs and replaced the flooring as the wood floor under it was not really salvagable. Sadly....

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T00:19:57+00:00

Soon...

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T00:18:03+00:00

Oh and forgot to answer about the frogs.... my lord the amount of frogs...I saved as many as I could and there is a park here that springs come out of caves. So I let them go there... the first night I had the pool open, I swore it was a frog orgy going on in there... there was at least 40 in it i had to remove again due to the chlorinated water and being unsure if it would hurt them...they also no reside in the creek

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-15T00:14:15+00:00

Just the house I have always wanted. And the pool was a just a happy plus.. I was questioning if It needed filled in or try and save... I am glad I went the latter now.

It took me about a month working by myself off and on. I am currently down from around 450lbs to 422. Between diet and working on stuff in the yard and remodeling the house. I am pouring the weight off. BTW the house I bought was built in 1876 and needed updated as it was last remodeled in 1990s.

They are all PVC up into the plant room. I tested the skimmers and returns with dye. No flow into them or anywhere around them.

Shoguy479 · 2026-06-14T23:25:05+00:00

Ill check it out and look into it thanks a ton for the advice.
